Presbyopia
As we age, the natural lens of our eyes loses its flexibility, making it difficult to focus on things up close. This condition is called “presbyopia” and affects everyone, usually starting in your mid-40s. Because of this blurred vision for close-up tasks, most people turn to reading glasses. However, as many have discovered, reading glasses may not be convenient for your active lifestyle. The good news is that, with lifestyle lenses, you may be able to reduce or eliminate your need for reading glasses!
Glaucoma
As technology continues to advance, we are pleased to offer state-of-the-art lifestyle lens options for glaucoma patients having cataract surgery. These lenses provide exciting options that allow patients with glaucoma to become less dependent on glasses after cataract surgery! Ask us about this technology and we’ll help determine if it’s right for you.

Lifestyle Lens Types
Tecnis®
The Tecnis® Multifocal Lens is a multifocal intraocular lens. Unlike traditional single-vision lens implants, the Tecnis® lens provides quality vision both at a distance and up close. Traditional single-vision lenses usually provide good vision only at a distance, with limited ability to see objects that are near without glasses. The Tecnis® Multifocal Lens not only replaces the natural lens clouded by a cataract, but also allows the patient to correct prior nearsightedness, farsightedness, and presbyopia.
Tecnis® Odyssey Lens
Heaton Eye Associates, always at the forefront of technology, is pleased to be the first practice in East Texas to offer patients the Tecnis® Odyssey Lens. Odyssey is an FDA-approved lens that offers patients more safety and sharper vision after cataract surgery. This extended range of vision IOL delivers a continuous, full range of high-quality vision with less halos and glare. Symfony provides seamless day-to-night vision, allowing patients to see clearly at near, intermediate, and far, as well as all points in between.
Toric Lens
According to statistics, 1 in 6, or 45 million, people in the U.S. are affected by astigmatism. Astigmatism is an irregularity in the shape of the cornea that causes vision to be blurry or distorted. With Toric IOL implants, patients can enjoy clear, crisp vision free from both cataracts and astigmatism.
PanOptix®
PanOptix@ is the 1st and only trifocal lens for an exceptional combination of near, intermediate, and distance vision after cataract surgery. Heaton Eye Associates is the first in our area to use the PanOptix® lens, providing our patients more options for better vision with cataract surgery.
RxSIGHT Light Adjustable Lens
RxSIGHT is the world’s 1st post-cataract surgery adjustable lens, and Heaton Eye Associates was the 1st in East Texas to offer it. After your cataract procedure, your surgeon makes a series of non-invasive light adjustments, giving you the ability to adjust and preview your vision until it meets your personal goals and lifestyle requirements. These lenses deliver superior outcomes that non-adjustable lenses cannot match. We are pleased to offer this advanced technology, providing our patients even more choices to get their best, desired outcome with cataract surgery.
PanOptix Pro
The PanOptix Pro IOL offers patients a full range of high-quality vision—near, intermediate, and distance—with reduced dependence on glasses.
Whether you’re considering cataract surgery or seeking freedom from reading glasses or bifocals, this revolutionary lens may be your key to brighter, clearer vision at all distances.
